Hi everyone!
It's been awhile since I've posted and wanted to give a quick update.
It has been 2500 days today, since I've had prostate surgery. I'm still downloading 0's according to that blood test.
I have been doing well physically since the surgery, almost can't tell I've had it except for that one thing.
My next big date, and one that I will consider myself cured, will be in 3 years when I hit that 10 year mark. smile

Rounds are on the house tonight! smile Cheers

Congrats to you. It's great to see that someone has done so well after treatment. Just remember to always keep up with annual checks.

your signature has just one less than < sign

does 1-14-19 0.01 mean 0.01 or < 0.01 ?

the 1-6-14 0.06 seems high but dropped ?

Post-Op PSA's
5-23-13 <0.10
1-6-14 0.06
1-21-15 0.01
1-11-16 0.01
1-12-17 0.01
1-10-18 0.01
1-14-19 0.01

likely a change in the type/sensitivity of test being run. All the results are <0.1 and the .06 is possibly a lab error. You can't assume that PSA numbers reported are accurate and different labs yield results. None of that data is present in the report.

The best you can do is says, "YAY" .01 for four years!!!

dude chill.

Thanks guys!

jronne, I don't know the ends and outs of the PSA number. Since 2013 there have been both normal and the other high sensitivity one ( whatever it's called). The latter has been used though for the last 4 years or so.
The numbers, right after surgery I assume were higher than what they are now for the reason the antigen was still floating around?
However, they did fall, and the last 4 or 5 years have all been shown on the reports as <0.01

And what InTheShop said. smile

That's a lot of sunrises and sunsets you have witnessed, since successful treatments.

It's a great milestone --- and your story will encourage others!

Here's to a new day ahead ---- TOMORROW!
